The Rock & Bike festival roars back to South Normanton’s Carnfield Hall from July 16-19 with Magnum and Big Country this year’s star attractions.

And we have a pair of tickets worth £80 on offer to the winner of our Rock & Bike competition below.

Magnum, including original founder members frontman Bob Catley and guitarist Tony Clarkin, are best known for their 1985 album On A Storyteller’s Night and 1986 follow-up Wings of Heaven, the latter spawning three top 40 singles.

Big Country managed to evoke the sound of bagpipes and traditional Scotland through their guitar work.

Also on the bill are Welsh glam metallers Tigertailz, most famous for their 1990 album Bezerk which made the Top 40 in the UK albums chart and spawned hit singles Love Bomb Baby and Heaven.

Over 25 bands will rock the site over the three days, including A Foreigners Journey plus tributes to AC/DC, Bon Jovi, Slade, Areosmith, Megadeth, Judas Priest, The Prodigy, The Levellers, Joan Jett & The Runaways, Whitesnake and Steel Panther.
